# Welcome to Forgejo

|
Hi there! Tired of big platforms playing monopoly?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Providing Git hosting for your project, friends, company or community?

|
|
|
|
**Forgejo** (\ˈfor.d͡ʒe.jo\ – the Esperanto word for *forge*) has you covered with its intuitive interface,
|
2022-11-17 21:26:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
light and easy hosting and a lot of builtin functionality.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forgejo was forked from the well-known [Gitea](https://gitea.io) project in 2022,
|
|
|
|
|
|
because we think that the project should be owned by an independent community instead of a for-profit company.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you second that, then Forgejo is for you!
